About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

If you haven't yet had the opportunity to check out Torn Banner Studios' first-person melee combat game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, now's a good chance -- it's free to play on Steam this weekend.

There's a great amount of variety to Chivalry's gameplay, as players have access to over 60 different weapons, ranging from battle axes to longbows to javelins. If the in-depth combat mechanics prove overwhelming, this tutorial video might help to ease you into the game.

Chivalry's free weekend ends Sunday at 1 PM pacific time. If you end up enjoying the game, you can buy it at a reduced price of $12.49 through Monday.
